A good week, I think we have just about worked her out - well at least for the time being. Poppy mustn't be over fatigued as that really causes her a problem, but so long as you just do the right amount, she is fine.
She has been to the "River" twice this week, once with me, and today with Dad, who remarked that it is the best he has seen her in ages. She was carried part of the way back, but it is a fair bit further than to the play park, and she did walk half way along the riverbank.
Poppy still really loves meeting other dogs, and we made it to dog club again this week, much to her satisfaction. We did not really do many of the exercises, but she just loved saying "hello" in particular to Bess a black labrador who is about 18 months old.
Talking of black labradors, Abbie and Poppy are now firm friends. Where Abbie pretty much ignored Poppy for about a month, they now do so much "playing". Poppy loves to try biting Abbie's leg or ear, whichever she can grab, to attract Abbie's attention, then they often roll around on the floor together for several minutes, or Abbie runs off to get a toy for them to play tug with, or runs out of the house and round the garden, with Poppy desperately bunny hopping after her. When Abbie tears round in circles, Poppy will literally bounce round on the spot.
This is also what she does when she is waiting for a meal. She gets really excited - it is so lovely to watch.
Poppy is such a happy dog, and so sweet with it. She really is a lovely dog to have in the household, other than when she has her stubborn streak on! At those times not much will make her move! So pretty typical of a near 6 month old pup.
